Best Blanket Poems

“Stardust is falling!” I heard my son cry,
his small precious face looking up at the sky.

“Stardust?” I echoed, and thought how my son
had such a vivid imagination.

“Yes, Mommy. Look!” he said, taking my hand.
He led me outside; the sky I then scanned.

I felt an enchantment,...

Security Blanket 

No chance of rain tonight,
No bogeyman, when I turn off the lights.
A phrase I found and adore with the warmth of your security.
You are the reason I attain true maturity.

I love when you lay down next to me,
Like the high tide of the...

Two hearts emotionally tethered to each other;
fear which one death may choose to visit first.
And as time passes, sadness swells
within their hearts thinking about it. 
Acceptance of the inevitability of the other's death;
triggers apprehension, a very human experience. 
Such feelings can overwhelm aging hearts;
love is...

The winter Queen has arrived
Silent and soft and slow and divine
Slowly thru icy breath she whispers
As her silver garments open wide
Miracles appear swirling free
As tiny angels dancing above
Softly drifting to the ground
On the wall and rooftops
Window ledges and branches bare
Tiny crystal flowers bloom
As she spreads...

enchants golden moonlight while whispered words of love proclaim

I may not believe in war
Yet I still believe in you
I am one of the many
You are one of the few

You are standing in harms way
While we're safe in our bed
We're amongst the living 
While you're faced with the dead

Horrors I imagine
For you are oh...

Ever so resplendent, horizon's line
Blanket of Stardust, enriched with time
Kissing and blending, in sunset and dawn
Ever so innocent, our souls are drawn

A light blanket of clouds covers
the sun, and fog drapes the trees
Crispness fills the still September air
rendering a sense of ease

An illuminating sun peeks through
Sleepy eyes lift the blanket
Autumn's touch is welcome here
Ripe pears nature's banquet ...

The land lies beneath a blanket of snow
The river is frozen and does not flow
The leaves have fallen and the trees are bare
Winter is dressed like a maiden so fair

The land lies beneath a blanket of snow
Its beauty and fairness blossom and grow
And yet there's...

As light gently slices the veil of night,
     a sliver of morning appears through my window
With one eye open, I check the time

     The fuzzy warmth of my sweet, soft blanket
compels me to think that all is...

Autumn’s rich scent has passed, color dies,
Winter enters with splendor, gracing the terrain with shades of white and grey,
The air is ice, the blanket of white embracing the ground sparkles, trees sway,
This time of year is exuberant and wise.

Crystalline icicles cry with the endearing sunlight,...

"Now" she's eating her cheerios, one-by-one 
She sits in a three ring circle with her friends 
Warmth, she is, by the rays of the morning's sun 
Her hair in ponytails all curled with loose ends 

She sits in a three ring circle with her friends...

There's a lot less talking
away from city lights
a lot more quiet
under starry nights

A lot less chaos
when you take time out
more to breath in
relax all the doubt

A lot less congestion
in the open country air
more to appreciate
the city don't compare

A lot less noise
from all the open bars
just...
